Nunew is inside a hospital. Everything is blurry but he is definitely in a hospital.

Oh. Im dreaming again.
Nunew said in his head.

He observes his surroundings he cant move his body.

"Hia?! Hia?!" Nunew shouted.

He saw his parents' face who keep on telling him to not move.

"Pa! Where is hia?" Nunew asked.

His dad didnt answer but Fah looked at the other side.

Nunew moved his head and looked too.

He saw Zee's younger self on a bed. He's lying unconscious with blood on his head.

"Hia! Hia!" Nunew's tiny voice said. He was reaching for Nunew but his tiny arms couldnt reach him.

"Hia, open your eyes. Hia. Look at nunu. Please look at nunu" Nunew begged but Zee wont open his eyes. He can see Nerina crying as she holds Zee's hand.

"Mama why wont Hia look at me? Is he mad at me? Why wont he open his eyes mama?" Nunew asked his mother.

"Mam, sir, we have to sedate him. He is moving too much. He would make it worse" nunew heard before he felt sleepiness in his head

"Hia! Hia! Dont leave Nunu! Dont be angry at Nu. I'll be a good boy! Please dont leave nunu!" Nunew shouted as he stares at Zee's bloody sleeping face and that's the last thing he saw before he closes his eyes.

Nunew opened his eyes and immediately looked at Zee who is sleeping peacefully beside him. He puts his hand on Zee's chest just so that he can feel his heart beat and breathing. He then let out a very shaky breath after making sure everything is alright.

A bad dream. That was just a bad dream. A bad memory. That's just it. Everything is fine Nunew
Nu said in his head as he tries to calm down his heart.

He inhaled deeply and sighed. He looked at the clock and saw that its 4am.

I need to drink.
Nunew thought

He slowly removed Zee's hand around him and quietly stood up.

He walked towards the door and silently opened it and went out.

He went to the kitchen and turned a light on. He puts his hand on his chest as he leans over the sink. He cant get Zee's bloody face out of his head. He feels dizzy that he feels like he's going to vomit.

He slowly did some deep breathing to calm himself but it doesnt seem to work. His hands are shaking.

Maybe some calming tea would do help
Nunew said to himself

He took a cup out of Zee's cupboard and putba chamomile tea on it. He then took the kettle and put some water in it. He plugged it in and waited for it to finish boiling.

Nunew let out a shaky breath again. He hugs himself as he rubs his arms. He bit his lip as he closes his eyes. Zee's face is still very clear on his mind.

"Its okay nunew. Its okay. That was a distant memory. Its all okay now. He' okay. Hia is okay." Nunew whispers to himself as he attempts to deep breathe again as his hands are still shaking.

The kettle clicked and he opened his eyes. He sighed again and he picked up the kettle. His hands are severely shaking that he had to put the hot kettle down.

He inhaled and exhaled deeply and tried again but this time with two hands.
He picked up the kettle as his hands shake but before he could pour hot water in the cup, Zee took the kettle from him as he stands behind Nunew.
